This was a good side dish, we served it along with the bacon bombe. Tad bit greasy, but a little butter never hurt anyone! The original calls for potatoes, peeled and shredded. As I have a fondness for my knuckles, I went with the preshredded frozen kind. As you have (hot) melted butter, (cold) raw eggs, and (frozen) potatoes, you might have some issues when mixing it all together. I left the premeasured potatoes sit in the bowl on the counter while I got everything else together. Then I alternated adding the butter and egg so that (1.) the butter didn’t instantly solidify where it landed and (2.) the eggs didn’t cook from the hot butter.
